D.O.A.

Here’s a link to stream the classic film noir: D.O.A. (1950). A man is desperately trying to find out who gave him a slow-acting poison. He doesn’t have much time, as the poison will kill him in just a few days. This is one of the top film noirs and not to be confused with the lesser 1969 and 1988 remakes. D.O.A. is an abbreviation for “Dead on Arrival.”

Here’s a choice bit of dialogue from the movie:

Homicide Detective: Can I help you?
Frank Bigelow: I’d like to see the man in charge.
Homicide Detective: In here…
Frank Bigelow: I want to report a murder.
Homicide Captain: Sit down. Where was this murder committed?
Frank Bigelow: San Francisco, last night.
Homicide Captain: Who was murdered?
Frank Bigelow: I was.
